Glenard Lee Cook, age 84, of Taylorsville passed away on Sunday, January 7, 2018 at Valley Nursing Center. He was born in Burke County on March 24, 1933, to the late Forest and Bessie Bennett Cook. Before retirement, Glenard had worked for Broyhill Furniture in Conover for a number of years. He was of the Baptist faith and an avid fisherman.

Along with his parents, he is preceded in death by his wife Carolyn A. Cook; sons Vernon & Randy Cook; brothers Jimmy, David, Carl, & Carroll Cook; and sister Delmar Cook.

Those left to cherish his memory include his sons Warren Huffman & Dale Cook; daughters Judi Rich (Roger) & Lori Mooney (Dale); sisters Velma Chester, Jeanette Berry, & Zelda Lambert; one special sister-in-law Kathleen Cook; and a numerous number of grandchildren, great-grandchildren, nephews, nieces, & cousins. The family would like to give a special thanks to all those at Valley Nursing who loved and cared for Glenard over the past three years.
